Mavericks breaks ConTeXt

by Dr. Stack van Hay | 14. November 2013 00:20

Neither ConTeXt contained in the MacTeX Distribution or in the TexLive Distribution stay functional when upgrading to MacOS X Mavericks 10.9. Here is a quick fix. Reinstalling won´t help!

The fix is tested and seems to work well:

Replace the file

/usr/local/texlive/2013/texmf-dist/scripts/context/ruby/base/switch.rb

With the version contained in this archive: mavericks_fix[1] (don´t forget to unzip :-))

Have phun!
